I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 86: The Dagger Revealed at the End of the Picture

Chapter 86: Chapter 86: The Dagger Revealed at the End of the Picture

The sky gradually darkened.

The courtyard was lit up, and the kitchen was filled with smoke, with chicken soup bubbling in a clay pot.

The river crabs were cleaned and steamed, the river shrimp were stir-fried with ginger and scallions, and there was a plump bass waiting in line.

Xiang Xiu exhausted all her culinary skills to prepare a sumptuous dinner. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

This greatly satisfied Zhang Yuan.

He first picked up half of the fish head that his mother liked best and then grabbed a chicken leg for himself to enjoy.

Delicious!

The young hen, only a year old, was extremely tender, stewed to the point of melting in the mouth, with fragrant flavors filling the palate.

The leftover chicken bones were not wasted and were thrown to Da Hu, who was eagerly watching from the side.

"Xiang Xiu, come and eat with us!"

Mother Zhang insisted that Xiang Xiu sit by her side and personally picked food for her.

Since coming to the Zhang Family, Xiang Xiu had been diligent and understanding, winning Mother Zhang’s affection.

Although Xiang Xiu remembered her role as a maid,

Mother Zhang treated her as a daughter.

She never imposed strict master-servant rules with her.

"Thank you, madam."

Xiang Xiu’s face flushed, looking shyly adorable.

Mother Zhang, holding her small hand, complained, "How many times have I told you, there’s no need to be so polite at home."

She kept nagging with eyes full of gentle affection.

Zhang Yuan watched his mother and Xiang Xiu’s daily interaction with a smile, while eating and drinking.

He felt nothing but joy and peace in his heart!

With a mother, a home, a business, a dog, and a smart and cute little maid.

Zhang Yuan occasionally thought that spending his life in such peace and happiness would be wonderful.

But he knew all too well that the world never followed one’s wishes.

There were always those who loved to stir trouble!

And such people, if left unchecked, would certainly be inappropriate.

In the following days, Zhang Yuan continued to leave early and return late to catch fish at Feiyan Lake.

As Feiyan Lake was seen as a forbidden zone by fishermen,

every time he went, he had a good harvest.

With continuous investment of Source Material, his second Host, the Jade Mantis, successfully evolved.

His Extraordinary Abilities were enhanced to Advanced Sword Mastery!

That morning, when Zhang Yuan set off again from Linhe dock, two fast boats quietly followed him.

These boats kept a few hundred paces distance from him,

like maggots in a bone, following him to the outskirts of Feiyan Lake.

Zhang Yuan stopped moving forward, maneuvering his boat to face them.

The distance between them quickly narrowed.

Zhang Yuan saw that these two boats carried seven people in total.

They wore ash-blue martial robes and carried bows, shields, swords, and other weapons.

Zhang Yuan only recognized one of them.

Zhang Xiong!

This Martial Artist stood at the bow with arms crossed, exuding a grand aura, his eyebrows filled with strong confidence.

As Zhang Yuan’s gaze met his across the air,

he gave a cold smile and said, "Zhang Yuan, still remember me?"

At this point, Zhang Xiong’s fast boat was only thirty or forty steps away from Zhang Yuan’s boat.

Both sides stopped simultaneously.

Zhang Yuan let go of the oar and leaped onto the roof of the boat, lightly landing on the bow again,

forming a direct confrontation with Zhang Xiong!

"I remember."

Zhang Yuan nodded, "If I’m not mistaken, you extorted a mountain goat from me once."

"Mountain goat?"

Zhang Xiong was initially stunned, and then laughed heartily, "Yes, that happened. Didn’t expect you to remember!"

He had long forgotten about it,

but recalling it now only stirred caution in his heart.

Who would have thought,

that a poor village boy could rise to become the Battle Hall Incense Master of the Furious Whale Gang in a few short months.

If Zhang Xiong had known about Zhang Yuan’s extraordinary Martial Arts talent back then, he would have killed him without hesitation.

Instead of holding a cat-and-mouse mindset, allowing him to grow!

Zhang Xiong didn’t regret it much.

Because now, he was not comparable to his former self!

"Then take it back!"

Zhang Xiong reached into his garment and pulled out a silver ingot.

A glint of ferocity flashed in his eyes as he suddenly flung it towards Zhang Yuan.

Swoosh!

The silver ingot whistled through the air, crossing several tens of steps in an instant, aiming straight for Zhang Yuan’s left chest.

Zhang Xiong did not intend to kill Zhang Yuan immediately.

But this silver ingot carried Yin Soft Force, and if it hit Zhang Yuan’s heart, it would cause unbearable pain.

Greatly reducing his ability to resist!

Zhang Yuan quickly caught the speeding silver ingot.

He was taken aback.

When he had jumped onto the bow, Zhang Yuan had already bolstered himself with double Strength and agility.

But Zhang Xiong’s seemingly casual throw had surprisingly strong Power.

The Tiger’s Mouth of his right hand holding the silver ingot felt numb, the residual force transmitted to his wrist.

Causing his right arm to involuntarily tremble slightly.

This was not the skill of a Tier Two Dark Force Martial Artist!

Zhang Yuan’s eyes narrowed, and he said gravely, "Tier Three Transformation Realm!"

"Good eyesight."

Zhang Xiong laughed, "Back then, I almost lost my life on Qianfeng Mountain, but unexpectedly, I broke through at the brink of death. This is what they call, the virtuous are blessed!"

The next moment, he restrained his smile and shouted fiercely, "Zhang Yuan, Gao Ze was my close friend. He died mysteriously and left no belongings behind. I suspect that you’re involved."

"Today, I must uncover the truth to comfort Brother Gao’s spirit!"

The plot thickens!

In fact, Zhang Xiong had never suspected before that Gao Ze’s death was related to Zhang Yuan.

Since at that time, Zhang Yuan was still weak.

He was no match for Hunter Gao.

He had nearly perished on Qianfeng Mountain, struggled back to the city, and took a long time to recover.

But not only did he recover, he also fortunately understood the way of Transformation Realm.

Becoming a Tier Three Martial Artist!

Yet, because he had fled from battle on Qianfeng Mountain, he offended the Chen Clan of Linhe, and had to join the Fierce Tiger Gang to atone for his mistakes.

One day, while attending to matters at the dock outside the city, he unexpectedly saw Zhang Yuan.

This immediately piqued his interest.

Through secret investigation, Zhang Xiong learned that Zhang Yuan had become a Battle Hall Disciple of the Furious Whale Gang.

And had reached Tier Two Dark Force cultivation!

This aroused his strong suspicion that Zhang Yuan harbored some unspeakable secret.

A secret related to Gao Ze, Hunter Gao!

Zhang Xiong had long known that Gao Ze had secrets,

but the latter hid them too well, coupled with his considerable strength, Zhang Xiong had no opportunity to act.

He later used Chen Deping, Landlord Chen, to set a trap for Gao Ze.

But Gao Ze inexplicably died!

Zhang Xiong lost both his plan and his resources, harboring resentment ever since.

Until Zhang Yuan reappeared.

Intuition told this Martial Artist that as long he caught Zhang Yuan, he might uncover a big surprise.

This led to today’s pursuit and confrontation!

Even if he guessed wrong, it wouldn’t matter.

As a member of the Fierce Tiger Gang,

slaying this rising star of Furious Whale Gang would be enough to explain to Chen Clan of Linhe!
